Wondering how much resin to use per square metre for your next project? Whether you’re planning a decorative pebble floor, a striking resin river table, or a luxurious marble-effect countertop, knowing the right amount of resin for your surface area is essential for a successful outcome. This page compares top resin systems and kits from ResinPro, helping DIYers and professionals alike accurately estimate, compare and choose materials for floors, furniture, and worktops of all sizes.

Comparing Resin Requirements by Project Type

The quantity of resin required per square metre depends largely on your application—whether it’s a pebble floor, a river table, or a countertop finish. Factors such as desired thickness, aggregate size, and substrate type will influence your calculations. To assist with planning, our product kits all specify recommended coverage figures. For pebble surfaces, you’ll need to account for both stone and resin ratios, while table and countertop kits provide detailed resin volumes for different thicknesses and effects. Below, we highlight the distinct approaches with each kit to help you make an informed choice.

“Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits

If you are working with decorative aggregate surfaces, the “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits offers a streamlined approach. This two-part system is ideal for driveways, paths, and permeable floors, especially when using coloured or dark granite. Its low viscosity ensures quick and complete aggregate impregnation, while UV resistance prevents yellowing on exposed surfaces. For practical calculations, typically around 3% of the total stone weight is the recommended epoxy binder quantity. For example, for a 1.44 m² area at 20 mm depth, about 432 kg of stones and 13 kg of resin binder will provide a strong, clear bond.

• Crystal-clear epoxy resin for decorative pebble floors
• UV-resistant and non-yellowing for long-lasting results
• Low viscosity for thorough mixing and coverage
• Certified non-toxic after curing—safe for walkway contact

Tips for Calculating Resin Usage and Surface Coverage

Accurate measurement is key. Always account for surface features and required thickness. Round your requirements up to allow for absorption/penetration, edge loss, or textured substrates like pebble or wood. Review each kit’s instructions for recommended mixing and application to achieve the desired effect and durability. Use the provided guidance on our product pages or get in touch for bespoke coverage advice—ResinPro kits are designed to minimise guesswork and make accurate planning straightforward.
